Balamban Liempo from Mercato Centrale

We found out that there is Balamban Liempo being sold at Mercato Centrale. We discover Balamban on our last visit to Cebu. I think it's even better than Cebu Lechon. Why do I say that? There are portions of a pig that I don't like eating. For example - I don't like pork hocks but I love Liempo - or pork belly in English - I love to eat.

Balamban Liempo is basically roasted pork belly. It is different from the ones you get in Manila - because of the spices used in seasoning this liempo.

Now I know, I don't need to go to Cebu to get a taste of my favorite roasted pork. I can have it by driving to Mercato on weekends.
